Before I answer your above queries, a little update. I rebooted my 
machine this morning and the USB stick was being mounted and the icon 
was being displayed properly on the desktop. Then I did an upgrade and 
noticed gnome-volume-manager (and probably hal) got upgraded. Since 
then, I again lost the USB stick automatic mounting and the icon on the 
desktop :(


pmount is installed:
$> dpkg -l pmount | grep ^ii
ii  pmount         0.4.3-1        mount removable devices as normal user

And gnome-volume-manager is running:
$> ps uax | grep gnome-vol
me   5768  0.0  2.6 17684 6868 ?        Ss   23:41   0:00 
gnome-volume-manager --sm-client-id default5


I am not sure what "registered in gnome session" means though(?) Maybe 
this is the culprit.

thanks,
